Maskset | Manufacturing, Electronics, Software, Mechanics, & IC Design Notes to Self
A quiet notebook for manufacturing, electronics, mechanics, software, and IC design. Not always polished—but always precise. Some posts are refined. Others are scribbles that turned out useful. Either way, they’re here in case the author —or someone else—needs them in the future.

Projects & Experiments
From low-noise analog front ends to fast optoelectronic drivers and scripting tools for FreeCAD or KiCAD—Maskset is a test bench for ideas too specific for general discourse.
- Tooling: Reusable workflows and custom automation.
- Measurement Systems: Real-time data tools and sensor frontends.
- Simulation & Modeling: FDTD, thermal, and layout analysis.
- Embedded & Control: Small-scale GUIs, firmware patterns, and protocol bridges.
- System Design: Incredible measurement systems of one kind or another.
